There’s nothing that will make a friendship stronger than when one of your friends is going through a breakup. Claire Foy and Matt Smith know this because they had each other to lean on as they went through some bad splits. In 2018, Foy was the first to call it quits with her husband, per Hello Magazine. Although Smith never commented on Foy’s split with her husband, he continued to be by her side at award shows. The “House of the Dragon” star even received another special shoutout from Foy at the 2018 Emmys, where she dedicated her win to him, per Entertainment Weekly.

Unfortunately, a year after Foy split from her husband, Smith went through his own breakup. In December 2019, “The Crown” actor split from his longtime girlfriend, Lily James, per Cosmopolitan. Smith’s breakup with James reportedly made his relationship with his co-star stronger. According to the Daily Mail, a source revealed that “The Crown” stars had “formed a close and mutually supportive friendship.” So close that Foy and Smith became the subject of romance rumors and their recent breakups only added fuel to the fire, per Yahoo. Although there was never any sort of romantic relationship between the two, the pair have become great friends, and even as their time on “The Crown” came to a close, they have continued to support one another.
